for running the story Sunday about my blog of the mom with 5 kids. I literally got 5 phone calls from people wanting to help. My husband and I spent all day Sunday picking up and delivering stuff to this family. It brought tears to my eyes when their 18th month old little girl wearing nothing more than a diaper because of the heat, gave me a hug and a piece of candy before leaving. It was great for my kids to see that not everyone has the same opportunities in life but it is our responsibility to always help others in need.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my blog last week regarding this family. So far we have gotten this mom a couch and love seat, clothes, toys, a mattress and food. We are also trying to find a washer and dryer (not sure what kind of hookup she needs yet; does anyone know what a trailor uses as I am clueless) as she has to pay people to take her up to the laundramat in order to wash her kids clothes. This mom is really thankful for all you are doing. Please know you guys are making a difference.

I am looking for someone to pick up my children from school on Lady's Island in Beaufort at 2:45 and bring them to Bluffton at 5:00 when I get off work. This would be Mon-Fri and it does not matter to me if you live in Beaufort or Bluffton. My kids are 10, 8 and 6. If you are interested please call me 227-1281. Thanks, Lori.

Hi everyone. I have recently been made aware of a mother that is in desperate need. She and her kids have almost nothing and she is in need of help to get her back on her feet. She lives in Beaufort in a tiny trailor with only a king size bed that they all have to share. Many circumstances are involved as to how/why she got into this situation, however the point is is that she and her kids need help. She is going through the state channels to help herself.

Hey I am looking for someone who does private swimming lessons for my kids. The YMCA and Bluffton pool are all booked up for their group lesson classes for the summer. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Lori.

check out these pics of a purebred chocolate male cocker spaniel that I pulled today! This is after a bath and matts shaved off his ears that weighed probabaly a quarter of a pound each! He was given a quilt and a toy by his foster mom which brought tears to my eyes as I am sure he never has had either in his whole life! He carries the toy everywhere! He is going to a cocker spaniel rescue in Indianapolis, IN. Miracles do happen even from death row, GA. I warn you they are graphic. Pray for this baby.

Good morning everyone, I wanted to let you know of this contest and that my husband and I have nominated Karen Wilkins and her hubby Dwayne for the animal hero of the year award for all their tireless work they do for our community and the literally hundreds of animals they have saved. Please join us in doing the same. Here is how:http://animal.discovery.com/sweepstakes/hero/2007/

Last night my husband, kids and I delivered Red (red rottie mix to be put to sleep) to his foster home here in Bluffton. We were so happy Karen called us to go and pull him out. It is the best feeling in the world. The worst feeling in the world is leaving the others behind but I did get pics of them and will be forwarding on to other rescues to see if they can help. Karen is slammed with animals right now and can use any help you can give. This community has always been so giving and we in rescue are very grateful. God Bless all of you, Red's foster family and adoptive family. Lori.

Hi guys, anyone know of anyone that has horses that is willing to give rides at a six yr old B-day party? I am not looking to pay 2-3 hundred dollars for one of the local stables to do it as that is a total rip off. I am looking for someone who would like to make a little extra money for a couple hours that just happens to have horses. They don't necessarily have to do this for a living in other words. They would not need to do anything else except for the rides.

It was highly recommended in my M.O.M.S. group and I am just starting it but am sooooo amazed and recommend it for each and every person. I went out this weekend and bought the book on CD... that's how much it has moved me! Lori.
